Patent GB-2321711-A (GB)
Title: Sensor mountings
Inventor: PENTIN PAUL JONATHAN
IPC: G01D11/30
Filed: 1998-01-28
Abstract: A sensor mounting, e.g. for use on a vehicle axle for an anti-lock brake system sensor, comprises an axle beam (7) and a sensor mounting block (1). The axle beam(7) has a journal(8) for a hub bearing assembly and a recess (11) inboard of the journal. The sensor mounting block (1) has at least one lug (6), preferably two, which engages in and is located by the recess (11). Securing means, such as a bolt which passes through a hole (5) in the sensor mounting block(1) and screws into a tapped hole in the axle beam (7) in or adjacent to the recess (11), secure the located sensor mounting block to the axle beam. The arrangement facilitates retrofitting of the sensor mounting and avoids welding for location of the sensor mounting.

Title: Electrochemical display and timing mechanism with migrating electrolyte
Inventor: MITCHELL JR CHAUNCEY T
IPC: G02F1/1506
Filed: 1998-04-27
Abstract: Electrochemical display cell 10 has a layered construction including two electrode layers 26, 28 and an electrolyte layer 30 occupying distinct areas of a substrate. Electrolyte layer 30 overlaps most of one electrode layer 28 and contacts a smaller portion of the other electrode layer 26 which is made of a thin film. The cell is activated by electrically connecting the electrodes 26 and 28 by way of conductive portion 32 thereby supporting an electrochemical reaction in the electrolyte layer 30 that progressively erodes the electrode 26 at the boundary 38 so as to reduce the area covered by the electrode 26 and increase that covered by the electrolyte 30. The thin-film electrode layer 26 recedes at the electrode/electrolyte boundary 38 at a rate governed by the rate of the electrochemical reaction. This provides an irreversible visual indication of the passage of time.

Title: Interconnect controller
Inventor: JOUIN CHRISTOPHE MAX JEAN
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1998-05-13
Abstract: For use with a dual mode cellular/satellite radiotelephone, the interconnect controller provides a means of restricting a satellite adapter to use with only specified radiotelephone hand sets. A random number is generated as one input to a security algorithm and unique identity numbers relating to the specified radiotelephone hand sets are also used as inputs to the security algorithm. The unique identity numbers may be the complete International mobile equipment identity (IMEI) or a part of the IMEI and an additional identity number. The personal identity (PIN) numbers of subscribers may also be used as part of the unique identity numbers so as to restrict the use of the satellite adapters to a number of subscriber identity modules (SIM).

Title: Reinforced structural member
Inventor: WYCECH JOSEPH S
IPC: B62D29/00
Filed: 1998-07-20
Abstract: A reinforced structural member (50) has a bulkhead (68) having a layer of thermally expanded resin (74) disposed between opposed side walls (70, 72). A sleeve (81) is retained within the resin layer and is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the reinforced structural member. The sleeve is an alignment with bolt holes in opposite sides of the reinforced member such that a bolt 84 can be inserted there through. A component, eg an engine cradle for a vehicle can then be bolted to the reinforced structural member at the site of the reinforcement. The invention not only increases the strength of the part, but also reduces vibration and noise transmission.

Title: A method for surveying a bore hole
Inventor: MCELHINNEY GRAHAM
IPC: E21B47/022
Filed: 1998-08-19
Abstract: A method of surveying a borehole involves monitoring the magnetic field around the borehole which arises from the Earth's magnetic field and from interference from magnetic components contained within near-by adjacent bore holes. By resolving the interference component from the whole magnetic field, positions along the bore hole may be determined where the interference magnetic field is at right angles to the bore hole, or is parallel to the bore hole. By measuring the whole magnetic field at these positions, measurements of the Earth's magnetic field may be obtained without interference in at least one axis.

Title: Manufacture of float glass under high load conditions
IPC: C03B18/06
Filed: 1972-06-13
Abstract: Flat glass in ribbon form is manufactured at an increased rate on a molten metal bath by pouring molten glass on to the bath continuously to feed a spreading layer of molten glass on the bath. Inwardly and forwardly directed forces are mechanically applied to the margins of the spread molten glass layer to regulate the extent of that spread as well as to accelerate the glass and impose a width reduction to retain a required thickness of ribbon despite the acceleration of the glass. This thickness is subsequently reduced by the effect of traction advancing the ribbon.

Title: Manually operated dispenser for dispensing a predetermined amount of powdered substance
IPC: B05B11/06
Filed: 1990-10-31
Abstract: A manually operated dispenser for dispensing a predetermined amount of powdered substance comprises a pressure cylinder (2) with an axially displaceable piston (3). A super-atmospheric pressure is generated by displacing the piston inwardly in the cylinder and is releaved through a chamber (41) in a magazine (40) comprising a number of chambers (41) containing powdered substance. The ends of the chambers (41) are covered by penetrable membranes (48), and the chambers (41) may be moved to successively being in alignment with a penetrator (30) and an outlet pipe (46). When the piston (3) is in its inner-most position the penetrator (30) and the inlet end of the out-let pipe (46) are forced through the respective membranes (48) at the ends of the chamber (41), and the subatmospheric pressure is releaved through the chamber (41) to dispense its content through the outlet pipe (46). The magazine (40) is annular and comprises a number of tubular chambers (41) placed equidistantly at some distance from and parallel with the axis of the magazine (40). At each full displacement of the piston (3) the magazine (40) is rotated to bring a new chamber (41) in alignment with the penetrator (30) and the outlet pipe (46).

Title: Flow rate cntrol feeder of crushed and pulverized substance
Inventor: KOIZUMI FUSAICHI
IPC: B65G65/44
Filed: 1979-01-31
Abstract: PURPOSE: To prevent generation of the bridge phenomenon as well as adjust the amount of cutting out by making variable the distance between a conical platter and an exhaust hole and the amplitude of platter's vibration.  
     CONSTITUTION: The distance between a cylindrical feeder shoot 1 and platter 2 is varied by moving up and down the flow-rate control gate 5 with a bell crank 9. Pulverized or crushed substance is thereby exhausted from exhaust hole at an arbitrary cut-out velocity and flows out smoothly along a tilt surface of the conical platter, assuring smooth portioned supplying. As this conical platter 2 is oscillated by a vibrator 4, the platter 2 puts the pulverized or crushed substance into periodical oscillation, destroying bridge phenomenon, which is liable to be formed in the cylindrical feeder shoot 1 and the hopper. Besides the above, the pulverized or crushed substance flows smoothly along the conical tilt surface of the platter 2. By such a construction, generation of influx can be prevented as well as uniform flowing state can be brought about.

IPC: F16C33/66
Filed: 1999-01-19
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rolling bearing allowing establishment of the torque stability and enhancement of the abrasive resistance. SOLUTION: Diamondlike carbon films 5 are formed at least either of the raceways of bearing rings 1 and 2 and the surface of rolling elements 3, wherein the surface roughness of the carbon films 5 is set under 0.005 μm by Ra (center line mean roughness). Because the carbon films 5 are made flat and smooth as much as practicable in the mentioned manner, the rolling characteristics of the rolling elements 3 can be stabilized, and wear in the eventual slippage of rolling element can be avoided.
